AerFin, an aviation asset specialist focused on buying, selling, leasing and repairing aircraft, engines and parts, has acquired a fourth Boeing 777-300ER previously operated by Japan Airlines. This purchase continues the company’s investment program in the widebody platform, which remains in demand globally.
The aircraft has arrived in Roswell, New Mexico, for processing. This move strengthens AerFin’s ability to support Boeing 777 operators worldwide by expanding its inventory of serviceable components. AerFin maintains significant 777 stock across warehouses in EMEA, Americas and APAC regions, providing timely access for operators, lessors and MRO providers.
Prior acquisitions include a second 777-300ER from Japan Airlines, noted as the company’s third procurement of the type, with components to be dismantled in the United States and refurbished for international supply. A third ex-JAL 777-300ER was acquired earlier in 2025, further building AerFin’s global teardown capabilities and material holdings.
Japan Airlines has retired multiple 777 variants, including four 777-300ERs delivered from 2005, with plans to phase them out by 2026 in favor of Airbus A350-1000s. The 777-300ER continues as a reliable workhorse, sustaining demand for parts amid fleet transitions.
AerFin’s Chief Investment Officer Auvinash Narayen stated, “The B777-300ER isn’t expected to retire at the same pace as older 777-200 or 777-300 variants. AerFin’s outlook is that while legacy B777 aircraft will continue to phase out, the 300ER is a different proposition entirely.”
